The Electoral Legislation Amendment (Electoral Reform) Act 2025 introduces an annual cap on donations for a federal purpose of $50,000, which applies from 1 July 2026. In a calendar year, a person/entity can donate up to $50,000 to a single recipient.
The state/territory donation cap: a maximum of 5 times the annual cap (up to $250,000) can be donated in a single state/territory in a calendar year. The overall donation cap is 32 times the annual donation cap. In a calendar year a person/entity can donate no more than $1.6 million to multiple recipients. Donation recipients are: political parties, members of the House of Representatives, senators, candidates, significant third parties, associated entities, nominated entities and third parties.
By-election donation cap: a maximum of the annual cap (up to $50,000) can be donated for a single by-election during the election.
Senate-only elections donation cap: a maximum of the annual cap (up to $50,000) can be donated for a single Senate-only election during the election.
A donation made for a by-election or a Senate-only election does not count towards the annual cap, state/territory cap, overall cap.
